Millions of youngsters across Europe could suffer permanent(永久性) hearing loss after five years if they listen to MP3 players at too high a volume for more than five hours a week, EU scientists warned. This seemed to be 36  for many youngsters.
The scientists’ study, requested by the European Commission,  37  the concept of “l(fā)eisure noise”, which was thought to be fashionable for the youth.  38  it said children and teenagers should be  39  from increasingly high sound levels—with loud mobile phones also coming in for  40  .
“There has been increasing  41  about exposure from the new generation of personal music players which can reproduce sounds at very  42  volumes without loss of quality,” the Commission, the EU’s executive branch,  43  in the report.
“Risk for hearing damage depends on sound level and  44  time,” it said. “More and more young people were  45  with the significant threat that leisure noise brought to  46  .”
The scientists  47  the number of people in that risk category at between five and ten cent of listeners,  48  up to 10 million people in the European Union.
49  of personal music players have sharply increased in EU countries’ market in recent years,  50  of MP3 players.
Mobile phones which are used  51  too high a volume also came under  52  from Meglena Kuneva, the EU’s consumer affairs commissioner.
“I’m concerned that so many young people…who are  53 users of personal music players and mobile phones at high volume levels, may be  54  damaging their hearing,” she said in the statement.
So, the youth, you should think twice about your preference. You should remember your  55  is more important than fashion and cool.

In many homes, divorce is caused by the “battle between the sexes.” To understand the problem, one must remember that the modern American woman is freed. During childhood and adolescence(青少年期), the American girl is given freedom and education which is equal to a boy's. After completing school, she is able to get a job and support herself. She doesn't have to marry for financial security. She considers herself an independent, self-sufficient person. She wants a husband whom she can respect, but she doesn't want to be dominated(控制) by him. She wants a democratic household in which she has a voice in making decisions. When a husband and wife are able to share decisionmaking, their marriage is probably closer, stronger, and more satisfying. Otherwise, the couple is likely to wind up in the divorce court.
When a couple gets divorced, the court usually requires the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money. If the couple has children, they usually remain with the mother, and the father is expected to pay for their support.
Although divorce is quite common in the United States, 80 percent of those who get divorced remarry. The remarriages allow thousands of people, especially children, to enjoy family life again, but at the same time many troubles have arisen. A well-known American joke tells of a wife calling to her second husband, “Quick, John! Come here and help me! Your children are beating up our chidlren!”
小題1:What causes most of the divorce cases in the U.S.A.?
A.Financial trouble in the family.
B.Women's liberation movement.
C.Different attitudes towards children's education.
D.Lack of democratic atmosphere in the household.
小題2:What do you know of modern American women, according to the passage?
A.They are overbearing and hardworking.
B.They are more independent than ever.
C.They do not have much say in the household.
D.They respect their husbands, but do not rely on them.
小題3:What kind of marriage can be successful?
A.Both the man and woman are financially secure.
B.Husband and wife share housework.
C.Both the man and woman are well-educated.
D.Decisions are made by the man and woman together.
小題4:What happens when a couple is divorced, according to the passage?
A.The children become homeless.
B.The man is still responsible for the welfare of his children.
C.Life becomes difficult for the woman and her children.
D.The man, rather than the woman, remarries soon.

Tattoos (紋身) and body piercings (穿孔) have moved up on the trend list in recent years.
Around Western schools lots of teens are showing off new holes and “flesh ink” (紋身). As with all other subjects, the Chinese will surely have to deal with this situation with respect to their children. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let’s sit down and hear what they say.
Tiara from Indiana:
I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them. I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong. There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button (肚臍) piercing. Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.
Lee from Illinois:
Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos and  consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on  my art work. People on the street stop me to look at the tattoo on my leg. Most of them don’t  know what it is. They just think the work itself is great.
Subotai from Califomia:
I’m not against self-expression, but when I see high school students getting these piercing, I  really wonder. In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion. A friend of mine  tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin. It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a  cow’s.
Jackson from Ohio:
I don’t think it’s wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything—I think that’s ridiculous (荒唐的). People who get the big dragons that cover their whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary. When I see naked chicks on guys, I think “You have no respect for women.”
1. We can infer from the passage that _________.
A. Tiara must have body piercing                       B. Subotai doesn’t have body piercing
C. Lee dislikes tattoos                                       D. Jackson likes tattoos and piercing
2. Who doesn’t think tattoos and piercings are beautiful except ear piercing?
A. Jackson                    B. Lee                          C. Tiara                        D. Subotai
3. From the passage, we can make a conclusion that _________.
A. tattoos and piecrings are a new kind of art
B. all the teachers in the West are in favour of tattoos and piercings
C. everything is changeable as time goes on
D. it is necessary to live with different views of beauty
4. The best title for this passage is probably _________.
A. Body Art or Causing Damage                         
B. Doing Damage to the Young People’s Bodies
C. Young People’s Different Curiosities
D. The Latest Fashion

Nowadays , people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festival , especially those western festivals .
A survey conducted recently by sina.Com showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.9% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation ,nothing serious while  17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act , showing they were not "out".These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young .10.45 percent people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness .Only 7.8% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民)。
The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China's economy .In my opinion of view ,Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the  origin  .They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life .Shop owners' pockets are filled, the public's hunger for happiness is filled , and that is enough . Foreign festivals in china are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment .
The crisis (危機(jī))of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life.
But the western culture shows much of romance .Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people .At this point , food seems to be too plain .Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.
Foreign festivals in China today are celebrated for fun . They give people opportunities to relax and to show appreciation and gratefulness . The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public , the familiarity with the western culture , and most importantly , on people's economic status.
60 From the survey we know that among the people surveyed _________
A .Most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous
B .Many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soon

The January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified how far green design has come.Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time.Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.
The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges.Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find.“Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to,” he says.For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once put into a dress.But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.
Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support.Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable.It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago.This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material.“Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn.
Some analysts are less sure.Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago.Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer.When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind.But—thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be.
67.What is said about FutureFashion?
A.It inspired many leading designers to start going green.
B.It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.
C.It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.
D.It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.
68.According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that        .
A.much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials
B.they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials
C.customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials
D.quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available
69.What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward ecofashion?
A.She is doubtful of its practical value.     B.She doesn’t think it is sustainable.
C.She doesn’t seem to care about it.   D.She is very much opposed to the idea.
70.What does the author think of green fashion?
A.Green products will soon go mainstream.
B.It has a very promising future.
C.Consumers have the final say.         
D.It will appeal more to young people.

In the debates about how a particular piece of land is to be used, the priorities often conflict. What should you do, for example, if you find out that under the fertile fields of a farming community there is a thick bed of coal which can be strip mined(露天礦) ? Strip mining tears up top soil and plants. But mining may create jobs, bring money to the towns businesses. Those who approve of strip mining say that the coal is needed, and they point out that it is quicker and cheaper to get coal from the surface than to go deep into the earth to get it by standard mining techniques. On the other hand, it takes nature 500 years to create an inch of top soil. As the countryside fills up, people are becoming more aware of the need for open space. Nearly every proposal for a new power plant, highway, or airport draws fierce opposition. Everyone wants the big, land-eating “uglies” to be in someone else’s backyard. Minneapolis and St.Paul, Minnesota, for example, have been debating about the site of a future airport for years. Yet if a new airport is needed, it will have to go somewhere.
How do we find our way out of the land-used problem? One way might be to reexamine our values, to think in new directions. Does everyone have to have a car with its need for highways and parking lots? What about developing mass transport systems that use less land? Do suburbs have to spread? Can they be designed so they use less space? Do we have to have more energy? If we do, do we really have to strip-mine coal to provide it?
However difficult they may be to arrive at, choices will have to be made if we want to preserve the beauty and usefulness of the land. For there is at least one point on which all of us can agree: The land does have its limits.
1. The word “priorities” in the sentence means ____.
? A. the various needs           B. the most important goal
? C. the number one necessity     D. the first thing to be considered
2. “…, people are becoming more aware of the need for open space. ” tells us that ____.
? A. people are thinking to develop their living space into the sky
? B. people noticed the need for unoccupied land
? C. people are struggling to get more land from the space ?
D. people are becoming more active on the space issue
3. How do we find our way out of the land use problems?
?A. One way might be to reexamine our values, to think in new directions.
B. Everyone has to have a car with its need for highways and parking lots.
?C. We have to have more energy. We need strip-mine coal to provide it.
D. We may develop mass transit systems which use less land.
4. “Everyone wants the big, land-eating ‘uglies’ to be in someone else s backyard.” shows that        .
? A. people don t want more big projects
? B. people don t want to live in the neighborhood of the big projects
? C. people regard the large construction projects are “uglies ”
? D. people don t like the undesirable building projects
5. The main idea of this article is ____.
?  A. The Limits of Land            B. Land    
C. Land and Our Life Styles      D. Land and Space

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題紙上將該選項(xiàng)標(biāo)號涂黑。
When we think about giving help to developing countries,we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals ,buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies.These seem to be most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with 想出)some better ideas to help them.
I was very surprised, then ,when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which can run without electricity. He decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in Cambodia.
The laptop which Mr. Negroponte  has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber(橡皮,橡膠) so that it is very strong and won't be damaged easily. As electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle(手柄) so that children can wind (轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng))the computer up to give it extra power when needed.
These special laptop computers will cost less than $100 and Mr. Negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of production.The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not help the people in developing countries immediately,but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and,probably in many other countries too,millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year.The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we shall be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we  produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to " kill two birds with one stone ",  and that is always a good thing.
56.  It's an excellent idea to recycle old mobile phones because _______.
A. it reduces waste and can help others 
B. it prevents waste and can earn lots of money
C. it can send the waste produced by developed countries to other countries
D. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users
57.  The author gives the example of Mr. Negroponte's cheap computers _______.
A. to show what high tech can bring us.
B. to illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries
C. to show how to find business opportunities in developing countries
D. to give an example of how to help developing countries
58. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Mr. Negroponte's cheap computers?
A. His computers don’t need any power to function well.
B. His computers are covered with rubber so that they are very cheap.
C. His computers will help children in developing countries to have better education.
D. His computers will help people in developing countries to find all the solutions.
59. Which of the following can be usedoreplace the underlined word in paragraph3?
A.blowB.turnC.pushD.lift
60.  Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A magazine     B. A newspaper      C. A lecture     D. An advertisement
